| My boyfriend is going to get really annoyed with me one day. I mean, how can you not see something what is staring right at you? If you think he'll get annoyed with it maybe you should tell him about it (if he doesn't already know) in a way that he'll understand. I can't tell you how many times I'v... |

| Does your friend have your number? Or did he not know it was you calling? Maybe you should explain/apologize. I'm guessing that since you didn't say anything the first time he thought it was a mistake so he hung up, but the second time you called him and asked who is this? sometimes that bothers peo... |

| Every very once in a while, though, I still find myself dealing with her being haunted by something I had thought was long since settled. Can anyone offer any suggestions about what we could do differently? My wife and I are both really tired of problems that don't solve, especially when I've thoug... |

I will have to ask her. Thank you. |

| I'm not sure why your girlfriend does this. The easiest way to understand may be to simply ask her directly with no social pussyfooting around it why she displays this behaviour. I've observed many autistics won't be offended by this approach and you may get your answer. I will have to try this. I ... |

| Maybe you could look into doing some reading about positive thinking. I'm in a relationship and went through a period of worrying about the relationship way too much so I did some reading about positive thinking, how not to worry, I spent time focusing on what could bring me happiness outside of the... |

| I know when I'm around my friends I can be a little more silly and hyper than usual, but I think maybe you aren't recognizing the limit for what is appropriate in the situation. Like maybe it starts out playful, but it keeps going and people get annoyed by it? maybe just look for signs others give y... |

| I don't think it's weird. I help myself fall asleep by imagining great love stories for myself and my celebrity crush of the week and I've never felt weird about it. I think that's just what happens when people with a lot of imagination get lonely. I also do things like that to help me fall asleep ... |

| I think it's brave of you to bring this up. I honestly wouldn't worry. I don't think anything is wrong with it, but you should try to form real connections with people. When I was younger before I had ever been in a relationship I would kind of do something similar, but not as fully detailed. I woul... |

| How long has your friend been with the 'LA' girl? Maybe with time it'll get better? It also sounds like your friends bring their girlfriends all the time, maybe you need time with just the guys? Maybe you should suggest every once and a while you all hang out without the girls, but make sure you say... |

| Hmmm I'm sure when he was first hit by the door he was mad (that's how I would react anyway) but for me when things like that happen the second the other person apologizes I get less mad and think "well, I guess he/she didn't mean it" Of course I'm a woman so it might be different for men.... |

| At the party, we were playing cards against humanity. We had been drinking. I accidentally knocked my empty beer can over and put it back on the table. My girlfriend made a snide remark, but was being playful. I responded playfully by sliding the beer cans in front of her. S looked at me and told m... |

Maybe she wants to save the two of yours' conversations to when she can really focus her best emotional energy. And maybe you can give her permissi... |
